The Rift

di Rajuan Ahmed (Autore)

Headroom, 2026

Ivan Petrovich is an aging Ukrainian engineer who helped build the Dnipro bridge, and he has never really left it. Most mornings he still walks out to look at the steel he once measured by hand. When Russian troops mass at the border, his brother Nikolai is only a few hours away in Belgorod, watching the same events on a very different screen. The two grew up in one house and shared everything. Now they can hardly agree on what to call what's happening. Maria, Ivan's daughter, sets out across a broken Ukraine to bring her mother and grandmother home. Her road ends in Mariupol, in a cellar full of strangers who split their bread and their fear. One of them is Sophia, a girl small enough to fall asleep against Maria's shoulder while the shelling goes on overhead. In Belgorod, Nikolai packs a bag for his son Sasha and tries not to look at the train times. He has to decide what he believes about this war before it takes his boy. The Rift is a story of concrete, dust, and blood, and of how a line on a map can split a family without fully cutting what holds it together. It's also about what people do the morning after everything has come down.
